About Me
Sport scientist, researcher, and certified strength & conditioning coach.
I am a sport scientist and certified strength and conditioning coach with experience in both collegiate and professional settings. My primary skills and research interests span athletic performance research, performance testing, sport biomechanics, and sport data science.
My goal is to support practitioners — strength and conditioning coaches, physical therapists, rehab specialists, and performance directors — by turning complex data into clear, actionable insights that drive better decisions around athlete health and performance.
Currently serving as Sport Scientist for the NBA's Denver Nuggets.
